Job cuts continue at Google for new year as sales positions eliminated

Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Google said on Tuesday it is cutting several hundred more jobs, primarily in sales, after having eliminated about a 1,000 positions since the start of the year.

In a leaked memo to Business Insider, Google's Chief Business Officer Philipp Schindler said the layoffs mostly will affect the Large Customer Sales unit, which sells advertising to larger businesses. He said the Google Customer Solutions team, which sells ads to smaller clients, will become the primary ad sales team.
